Leland Gaunt

I need to watch this movie. I just found out Max von Sydow played Leland Gaunt. The book was quite good and probably the movie won't be as good but I think I should watch this some time. Max plays a great 'bad guy'

I have always found him to be so intriguing and I felt he played Leland so very well. I also used to think of (our beloved) J.D. as Leland

Reaally? I thought Leland Gaunt was an evil man - in the end did he not more or less turn into Satan and fly away on a horse (or something equally strange?) J.D. (although I never knew him) seemed to be a kind person from what I have read of his posts

Max von Sydow was a great casting choice for Leland Gaunt. I really enjoy diabolic movie characters played well. It was one of my all time favorite movie adaptations of a Stephen King character. Would love to see a sequel made with von Sydow, but they would have to hurry it along. What is Max, like about 100 now?

Needful Things is in my top 5 King adaptations. I like it more than The Green Mile, honestly. Great cast, great scenes, great score. A lot of the novel is left out (he said sadly) but it retains the dark humor feel of the written word. Definitely worth watching at least once.

THE movie adaptations have (as a whole) been so bad that I stopped even looking for them for a long time. This year is the first time I knew there were even movies of Dreamcatcher, Needful Things, and Desperation. If I was join to watch one, it would probably be Needful things, because of the cast.

I would definitely recommend it, although I didn't like it that they took out Ace.
